We learned from Russ Cohen that while nibbling on a few won&#39;t kill you, they are called &quot;scoot berries&quot; because too many will give you diarrhea bad enough to make you &quot;scoot&quot; off to the bathroom all day. That is not a wild food we are interested in experimenting with, especially not with a child.<br />The 3 Foragershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095365543705594358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539448463310978123.post-14883933770671170462013-09-12T21:24:40.573-04:002013-09-12T21:24:40.573-04:00Just found your blog!

They have a remarkably molasses-like flavour, with a delicate sweetness, ending in a bit of a sharp taste that apparently some people don&#39;t like. To us, they seemed great, including our three-year-old! Pluck them when they are ripe -- they go from a mottled appearance to a bright red berry that you can almost see the seeds through. <br /><br />Thanks for profiling such a beautiful and delicious plant! <br /><br />We&#39;re in Wisconsin, by the way.Kenton at ReWild Universityhttp://www.rewildu.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539448463310978123.post-23293546258446698812013-04-27T21:29:46.230-04:002013-04-27T21:29:46.230-04:00I live in Castlegar, British Columbia.

Common preparation is to warm butter or olive oil, saute garlic, turn your washed suziki, and remove from heat. To that, add your fresh spring onions that are chopped. Salt and pepper to taste. Delicious. Suziki often arrives same time as the fiddle heads. Great eating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539448463310978123.post-73386359987760115062013-02-09T08:24:24.788-05:002013-02-09T08:24:24.788-05:00I live in southern Wisconsin and regularly see Hmo...I live in southern Wisconsin and regularly see Hmong foragers collecting the stems of Solomon&#39;s seal before it leafs out. Apparently it tastes much like asparagus. I wander this same area collecting wild asparagus which the Solomon&#39;s seal folks do not want. I&#39;ve had some interesting &#39;conversations&#39; without language with the foragers.<br /><br />BevBevnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539448463310978123.post-83534668567300116342010-05-27T20:42:36.199-04:002010-05-27T20:42:36.199-04:00Hello there!

I&#39;m glad to see that you have braved eating False Solomon Seal roots, as other sources say it must be soaked in lye water overnight before using. I wondered whether or not that was really true.<br /><br />I&#39;m looking forward to coming back and peeking around some more~ have yourselves a wonderfully &quot;wild&quot; day :) .<br /><br />~MarquetaMarqueta (Mar-kee-ta) G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13471332103238738458noreply@blogger.com
